The UConn/JAX-GM Training Program in Genomic Science

项目总结 我们建议建立UConn/JAX-GM基因组科学培训计划，以培训 下一代基因组科学家。该计划利用了一个独特的组合 最近，康涅狄格大学健康中心(UConn)之间的关系蓬勃发展 位于康涅狄格州法明顿的杰克逊基因组医学实验室(JAX-GM)。同舟共济 将康涅狄格州法明顿打造为全球领先的卓越基因组研究中心之一 世界。例如，我们的研究人员包括ENCODE、1000基因组、TCGA、 4D核组和微生物组联合体项目。JAX和UConn也都有出色的 优秀的训练历史。我们的机构提供一流的表演设施 基因组研究，包括出色的计算资源，轻松访问每一个DNA和 UConn/JAX-GM单细胞基因组学设施。我们建议利用我们的专业知识和真正的 独特的培训环境，教育和指导现代基因组学博士前学员 科学。该培训将包括授课课程、系列研讨会、技术实践 参加基因组学方面的国际会议。实习生将接触到 湿基因组研究和干基因组研究，并将能够产生和分析基因组数据。 受训者将在这两个系统的基本生物学方面有一个坚实的基础 研究了正确解释数据所需的计算和统计方法。 受训者还将接受有关伦理科学行为的教育。

PROJECT SUMMARY We propose to establish the UConn/JAX-GM Training Program in Genomic Sciences to train the next generation of genomic Scientists. This program leverages the unique combination of a recent, but thriving relationship between the University of Connecticut Health Center (UConn Health) and Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM) in Farmington, CT. Together UConn and JAX-GM have exceeded the critical mass of faculty specializing in genomic sciences to establish Farmington, CT as one of the leading hubs of excellence in genomic research in the world. For example, our research faculty include leaders of the ENCODE, 1000 Genomes, TCGA, 4D Nucleome, and Microbiome consortium projects. Both JAX and UConn also have outstanding histories of excellence in training. Our institutions provide outstanding facilities to perform genomic research including excellent computational resources, easy access to every DNA and RNA sequencing platform, a stem cell and genome engineering core facility, and a joint UConn/JAX-GM single cell genomics facility. We propose to leverage our expertise and truly unique training environment to educate and mentor pre-doctoral trainees in modern genomic sciences. This training will include didactic courses, seminar series, hands on technical workshops, and attending international conferences in genomics. Trainees will be exposed to both wet and dry genomic research and will be able to both generate and analyze genomic data. Trainees will be given a strong foundation in both the underlying biology of the systems being studied and the computational and statistical methods required to correctly interpret data. Trainees will also be educated about ethical scientific behavior.
